Elgato, a company that makes a number of smart home devices under its “Eve” brand,including those that track weather and air quality, is today rolling a new product for thosemore concerned with monitoring and controlling their home’s energy usage. The Eve Energydevice plugs into a wall socket, allowing you to control connected devices via iPhone, iPad, oriPod touch via Bluetooth. The device also works with Apple’s HomeKit, which expands thepossibilities in terms of being able to personalize your setup.

For example, you can group together several HomeKit-enabled devices (including thosebeyond Eve) in order to control them in one step, the company explains. This lets you designcustom scenes for your home, like “Entertainment On,” for example, which could switch onyour lights and TV, perhaps, or crank the music.

You can trigger these scenes by asking Siri to enable them for you.

It’s notable that Eve Energy uses Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi, to connect to your devices – thatsupport makes it the first to do so among other HomeKit-enabled smart plugs. As our homesfill with more internet-connected devices, it’s nice to have the option of buying one thatdoesn’t add to our crowded home Wi-Fi networks. Plus, the device doesn’t require a bridge ora hub of some sort to communicate.

The main purpose of the device is not enabling these scenes, though – it’s about getting ahandle on your home’s energy usage.

Via the accompanying Elgato Eve app, you can view energy consumption at a glance, drillingdown into graphs by day, week or month. Plus, you can control your Eve Energy device whenyou’re away from home, if you have an Apple TV. The remote access lets you turn devices onand off, launch scenes, or simply check on your home’s status.

The Eve Energy, was previously available in Europe. Now it’s an option for U.S. customers, andcan be bought from the company’s website or Amazon for $49.95, starting today. The app,meanwhile, is a free download from the iTunes App Store.
